bearing in mind that the centroid in a triangle cuts each of the three medians in a 2:1 ratio.

since we know that A C = 12, let's split it in a 2:1 ratio then, cleary from the picture the larger is F C, so F C : A F is on a 2:1 ratio.

$\bf A C=A F+F C\qquad \qquad \cfrac{F C}{A F}=\cfrac{2}{1}\qquad \qquad \cfrac{2\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}{1\cdot \frac{12}{2+1}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 4}{1\cdot 4}\implies \cfrac{8}{4}$

A population has a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 50. Suppose a sample of size 100 is selected and x is used to estimat

zmey [24]

Answer:

a) 0.6426 = 64.26% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 5 of the population mean.

b) 0.9544 = 95.44% probability that the sample mean will be within +/- 10 of the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
